According to an article in Forbes, which in general is a fairly reliable source of information, AI imaging app Midjourney will release version 6.0 before the end of July. The article unfortunately did not contain any information on what features the new version may offer. It did, however, describe in a fair amount of detail two new features in the current version 5.2 and also posted examples to illustrate the results obtained with them.
The first of these new features is the ability to create panoramic images. According to Forbes, it works as follows:
"When a regular image is upscaled to full resolution, the user gets the option to pan the image left, right, up or down. This effectively extends the image in the chosen direction, with the AI filling in the empty space.
Images can continue to be extended beyond one iteration, although the wider and wider aspect ratio becomes problematic.
Users can also enter Midjourney’s Remix mode and change the prompt at the same time as extending the image, effectively letting them create panoramic photo stories."
The second new feature is Weirdness. As the name would imply, this feature allows users to dial in various degrees of "weirdness" into generated images on a scale of 0 to 3,000. How useful Midjourney subscribers will find this feature will obviously depend on their individual styles of creativity. Those who favor a straightforward approach to image generation will most likely opt not to work with it that often while those seeking to create the unusual and fanciful may find it quite helpful in achieving their goals.
